Description
In "Darwinism and Race Progress," John Berry Haycraft explores the influence of Darwin's theory of evolution on the concept of racial progress in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Haycraft critically examines how the idea of survival of the fittest was applied to human societies, leading to the justification of colonialism, discrimination, and eugenics policies. By delving into the historical context in which these ideas emerged, Haycraft sheds light on the roots of scientific racism and its impact on social attitudes towards race. This book is a thought-provoking analysis of how scientific theories can be distorted and misused to perpetuate harmful ideologies. "Darwinism and Race Progress" is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of science, race, and society.
